Pseudomonas population genomics

Projects

1. Build a local genome database
   1. Database schema:
      1. "genome": genome_id, strain_name, ncbi_taxid
      2. "orf": genome_id, locus_tag, start, stop, strand, genome_name, product_name
      3. "orth_orf": orth_orf_id, locus_name, genome_id, orth_class
   2. Parsing scripts
      1. Rayees Parsing code, requires that you remove columns 9-27 using bash command: cut -c 1-8 (I will write a bash script that does this and runs the program) https://www.dropbox.com/s/lpxxbkxeyw7frrn/parser.pl
   3. Database loading scripts
2. Molecular Evolution of flagellum genes
   1. Download orthologs
   2. Reconstruct phylogenetic tree
   3. Run PAML tests

Ortholog aligning and phylogenetic tree material and methods

1. Protein ortholog data: fleN, fleQ, flhF
2. Protocol:
   1. Fasta headers are too long for tree, run: rename.pl to shorten names. Usage: >rename.pl <FASTA_file> > <OUTPUTfilename.fas> (will rewrite script to create automatic output file)
   2. To align use muscle Usage: >muscle -in <FASTA_File> -out <OUTPUTfilename> -clwstrict
   3. To create tree file run clustalW2 Usage >clustalw2 -infile= <Aligned_file> -output= Phylip
   4. To create tree run R using following commands:
      1. setwd("<directory containing phylip files>")
      2. library ("ape")
      3. library ("phangorn")
      4. <gene_name> = read.tree("<file_gene_name.phy>")
      5. <gene_name> = midpoint(gene_name)
      6. plot(<gene_name>)

Gene	Alignment	Tree	Notes
fleN	fleN pep alignment		Conserved Domain
fleQ	fleQ pep alignment		Conserved Domain
flhf	flhF pep alignment		Conserved Domain

1. Finish parsing the genome files to upload the "orf" table (Raymond & Rayees)
   1. Rayees Parsed genome files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/k0zktvvmv39op9i/1zBercEky8
2. Parsing the ortholog file to upload the "orth_orf" table (Raymond)
3. Identify and download fleN, fleQ, and flhF orthologs & align them (Rayees)
